I’ve written many times about how Zagreb has a very extensive and fun museum offering. The city offers visitors and locals alike everything from more traditional venues (concentrating on history and art, for example) to more modern museums covering heartbreak, hangovers and errr…selfies.

One of the most famous visuals of Croatia, one that you will have surely “seen” whether you’re paying close attention to Croatia or not, is Zlatni Rat beach on the island of Brac.

The inland location, in the Lika region of […]

Either way, that’s a […]
Advent in Zagreb is the big one when it comes to Christmas festivities taking place in Croatia in December. So much of Croatia’s capital is taken over for Advent, from the main square and other popular squares, parks, promenades, museums and more. But what if you’re not heading to Zagreb this winter? Find out what […]
We are only a week or so away from December, and all of the very merry, festive cheer that that month brings! You will likely know that Christmas celebrations take place in many towns and cities all across Croatia, the largest and most visited being in Croatia’s capital city, Zagreb.

If you’ve visited Zadar, you will have marvelled at the town’s many wonderful sights. It’s gorgeous, compact Old Town is home to a number of wonderful points of interest, old and new. Not least the area heading away from the Forum – which was built in the 3rd century by the Romans, but is now […]
